Rating: 4.5/5 --
Schelsinger's masterfully directed eccentric satire is based on Stella Gibbons' 1933 book which spoofs the serious, soul-searching, rural-set stories of writers like D.H. Lawrence and Mary Webb.

Goatdog's Movies
...[The film is] dour, eccentric and very funny, and depends on the British gift for treating madness as good common sense...
Chicago Sun-Times
...A delicious social satire....COLD COMFORT FARM, with a clever script by Malcolm Bradbury, sets a raucous pace for a cast of master thespians...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/4 --
